Yes, in the UK, many Aldi stores and other supermarkets allow you to enter and browse from around 9:30 AM on Sundays, even though trading officially starts at 10:00 AM when tills open. You can fill your trolley beforehand, but you'll have to wait at the checkout until 10:00 AM to pay, with some stores having rules about purchasing age-restricted items like alcohol after 10 AM.
ALDI's rule of 'Bring Your Own Bags' is another means to make the checkout process efficient and curb extra costs. When shoppers carry their own bags, the supermarket chain does not have to hire extra staff just for bagging. Plus, less money is spent on buying and storing the bags.
